Abstract
The SPECTRUM Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) presents a coordinated European strategy for the compute and data continuum serving data-intensive science. Grounded in the requirements of High Energy Physics (including the HL-LHC programme and the WLCG) and Radio Astronomy (including the SKA Observatory and LOFAR), the agenda addresses challenges shared across data-intensive disciplines: exabyte-scale data, heterogeneous computing, federated access, AI adoption, environmental sustainability, and workforce development.
